    It had to be done. I had to know how Cruiser's compares to Chaps. Jeremy and I were over at Tradepoint Atlantic, checking out the wreckage of the bridge, and decided to get a little snack before we headed to the park. Friends had just visited Cruiser's the week before, and had warned us not to get the hamburger, so we ordered a pit beef sandwich to share. Jeremy got it topped with raw onions and barbecue sauce. He brought me a small container of horseradish. It was fine. A bit dry. Since it was sauced before the employee wrapped it, Jeremy didn't think to bring me a container of sauce, too. The horseradish is fantastic, though. Makes your brain feel like you've been electrocuted - which is exactly how I like it. We prefer Chaps, but not the location in Glen Burnie. You need to go to the original location to get the top-notch sandwich. Personally, I think getting the Cruiser's sandwich cooked medium was the issue. I've had better pit beef sandwiches at carnivals. So if you like your sandwich more on the pink side, don't order medium. Jeremy ate the majority of the sandwich, and enjoyed it. I'm sorry. I just can't work up any enthusiasm about it.

    We checked this spot out after a hike nearby and it was a great find ! We got their 2 meat sandwich, a hotdog, burger, cream of crab soup & fries! The sandwich and hot dog were so delicious! Very tender and flavorful!! The burger was done too well for our liking and ended up being super dry. In the midst of ordering so much food for 2 ppl we realized afterwards the cashier never asked how we wanted to burger cooked. Oh well! The fries were delicious too but what fries aren't ? I also took a quick step back to childhood as they had Linden cookies so snagged one of those as well!

    Great spot for lunch after hiking at North Point State Park. The meats were good, we tried the pit beef and put ham. I love pit ham. The house made sauces were delicious, I forget the name of their main house sauce but it was really tasty! Only complaint is the Kaiser roll was a bit dry and fell apart while eating, I wish it was on a potato roll instead. Fries were delicious! They have a lot of options on the menu, good looking deserts and tons of chips and miscellaneous items to purchase at the counter. For instance we got a container of local honey for a really good price! The food did take a while, so don't be in a rush to get in and out here! There were a few people ahead of us, but it seemed like everyone was waiting a while for their orders. Lots of room to sit and eat.

My favorite jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald played quietly in the background. The service was A1! The wait staff were so friendly and attentive. We shared the crab dip, and jumbo lump crab cakes with a side salad. Everything was good but the standout star was the crab dip. My only feedback is that the wonderful bread that is served with the crab dip is not enough for the amount of crab dip that you get. I asked for some more bread and they obliged but it cost us a few dollars. Wonderful views, superior service, and good food will have us returning to Sam and Maggie's Dockside.

I think it's worth mentioning that I've never had pit beef before so I am by no means an expert as to what's good or not. I will also say however, that what I ordered, the open face pit beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy was ok. The entire plate was swimming in gravy so that took away from what could've been a better meal. I did ask for gravy on the whole sandwich and the mashed potatoes (because the picture on their website looked like gravy only came on the mashed potatoes and I do like a little extra) but I wasn't expecting a to-go box literally full of gravy, so that's probably my fault. The texture of the beef mixed with all the gravy and mashed potatoes was a bit unpleasant and soupy and I periodically had to pick burnt bits and foil out my mouth so that also took away from the experience. They seem to have a pretty vast menu and I had no idea what I was going to get when I walked in. The young lady that took my order was very friendly and helped me come to my decision so the customer service was good and I appreciated her patience with me. As far as ambiance goes, while I was waiting for my order, there was an older man waiting for his order that was yelling at the tv about how Joe Biden hasn't done anything for this country and that Trump only told the truth. I try not to get caught up in politics with strangers because it really can be off putting but what can you do. I wouldn't do the gravy with a side of open face pit beef sandwich again but there's so many other options I'd like to try in the future should I find myself in the area again. A man that was also waiting for his order said he really like the ribs.
